Of course, these noble ladies play cards in a very exquisite place. Mrs. Herd arranged the location at Ethan Herd's Blue Orchid Pavilion, where the manager carefully waited on them. This was the Empress after all!
The manager opened the best private room and personally bustled around, pouring tea and water.
When all the ladies had arrived, Mrs. Herd introduced them to Scarlett Glenn: "Scarlett, there's no need to be nervous. These ladies are my regular card partners - Mrs. Serene, Mrs. Zahn, and Mrs. Yale..."
All of them had heard about Scarlett Glenn from Mrs. Zell and actually looked down on her.
Scarlett Glenn seemed not to notice the disdain in their eyes and softly said, "Hello, ladies. Today I heard from Aunt Herd that I'd be playing cards with you all. I wanted to join in the fun, so I begged Aunt Herd to bring me along. I don't really know how to play cards, so I hope you can teach me."
